Building Great Neighbourhoods - Bellevue & Virginia Park

Project Update - January 2019

The construction of the Bellevue neighbourhood is to be completed in 2018/2019 except for the 3 blocks of Ada Boulevard in Bellevue. 67 Street to the bridge over Wayne Gretzky Drive will be constructed along with the Highlands section of Ada Boulevard in 2021.

This will minimize impacts on civic events and residents by coordinating design and construction along Ada Boulevard.

About the Program

Bellevue and Virginia Park were chosen for reconstruction in spring 2018. Virginia Park was completed the same year.

Neighbourhood reconstruction is a type of neighbourhood renewal that involves road reconstruction and repaving, as well as replacement of streetlights and reconstruction of sidewalks, curb and gutter. Alley renewal is not part of neighbourhood reconstruction.

Project History

Betty Stanhope-Cole Park Renewal Concept

The concept design for Betty Stanhope-Cole Park was shared at the Highlands Preliminary Design Public Event on Monday November 19, 2018. Residents of Bellevue were also invited to attend this event to view the park concept.

Renewing Ada Boulevard - Reporting Back

The construction of Ada Boulevard will be completed with the upcoming neighbourhood renewal work in Virginia Park (2018), Bellevue (2018 - 2019) and Highlands (2019 - 2021).

As a follow-up to the workshop at the Highlands Golf Course on January 22, 2018 and the online survey that was accessible between February 7 - 19, 2018, the City has compiled, analyzed and integrated your input in the Renewing Ada Boulevard - Reporting Back report. Your feedback helped to refine the design option for Virginia Park and will shape the process and future design for Bellevue and Highlands.
